I’ve been experimenting with this effect for a while now and I have to say it’s well worth trying out.
A comment from elsamuko on a previous post led me to this Lomo Script. I was chuffed to note that elsamuko updated the colours in the script based on my post.
Try it yourself
Simply follow the instructions on the GIMP Plugin Registry page and then watch your image transform before your very eyes. Have some fun with the effects you get.
You can use red, blue, green or neutral color effects and even add a vignette. If you wish, tweak the effects further by selecting the layers and adjusting them manually.
I usually try out a couple of variations before staying with one. It’s easy enough to “CTRL+Z” to undo the effect and then change the script settings to try again.
In the examples below only the color has been selected, nothing else. Look how dramatically you can change your pictures!

If you have used the Lomo Script yourself – or decide to - make sure to leave a link to your photo in the comments so we can check it out.
